Alright so my first character idea is gone atm, as I just realized the "burning sky" aspect of the campaign causes teleports to deal 1 fire damage per sq. Now normally it wouldn't matter as I am a Tiefling (Fire Res 5+1/2level) but I also want to teleport you guys to safety or to the enemy, which now incurs some damage whenever I would do so. Gonna look more into the Warlord I guess.

Tentative character sheet: http://orokos.com/dnd4e/sheets/7138 Extremely rough backstory: is a dragonborn, hails from the mountains between Ostalin and Ragesian, travelled to Gate Pass to adventure and gain glory, became involved with the temple of Avandra somehow? Not included on that sheet: I am probably gonna pick up the background that gives me the Blessed By Dreams feat, and my bonus skill is probably going to be Woodcarving. I'm considering going 18/18 (post racial) in CON/CHA which would mean I can Lay on Hands less but I would be insanely tanky. And it would mean I could use Dragonbreath instead of Dragonfear. Anyone have any thoughts on that, or the character in general?

Looking at your character sheet my only thought is: How many faces will this party have? lol

We're not sticking to the Divine theme anyway, so just be whatever you want.

Two additional things for consideration are wish lists and how the party is initially brought together. We'll be using the standard treasure parcel system for handing out loot, so as part of your character please put together a list of magic item drops that you'd like to see/would work well with your build. No guarantees that everything will drop (especially with Inherent Bonuses so I don't need to give everyone a new weapon/armor/neckpiece like clockwork), but it will be the main resource for the treasure parcels. In terms of bringing the party together, we can go with either of the two standard options of "we already know each other" or "meeting for the first time that night". The adventure can accommodate either option; if we go with the latter one, it will help if everyone has some sort of hook in their character where they'd be willing to do a pretty big favor for someone in the city of Gate Pass. If everyone already knows each other, you'll want to come up with a collective backstory that brings together a bunch of just-starting-out scrub heroes.

nucleicmaxid posted:This would be way easier if we just all went Divine. I've been thinking about that a bit, and there is no reason everyone can't have divine connections (in the sense of being trained by holy folk or personally associated with them) even if they aren't formally partaking of the power source. You can all be on Team Avandra, or even Team All The Good Gods, without mechanically being of certain classes. As the campaign begins, the Inquisition's gearing up has a lot of people very nervous. And while arcanists are the current target, it's certainly plausible that if the head of the Inquisition takes the throne, she'll institute a full-on imperial religion that will turn a lot of churches into heresies. Herr Tog posted:How long should the wish list be? I'd say 5-6 items for now. I imagine everyone will fiddle with it as time goes by and they alter/revise their builds based upon the party composition and what they're finding fun or effective.

Herr Tog posted:Okay! Any restrictions to this? Nothing more than the standard "I'll look at it and it won't drop if I think it's game breaking either by design or in our environment". I don't think anyone is planning a frostcheese build or anything like that, but if a particular item is completely pivotal to your character let me know. I'm a big fan of Named Swords and stuff like that, really helps create a sense of legend to your character if he is known as much by his gear as his dashing good looks.

So are we actually starting the real campaign on Wednesday or just continuing wherever you guys left off of the practice campaign thing? Also, magic item list: Weapon of Defense (Longsword) Reinforcing Armor (Plate) Phylactery of Action (Arms) Amulet of Physical Resolve (Neck) Belt of Vigor (Waist) Edit: Also do you want us to actually track equipment weight and stuff? Because I'm already at a heavy load with pretty basic equipment. Flame112 fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Aug 25, 2014 |

Yes, we are on for this Wednesday, August 27th at 7 PM PST. We'll be resuming the intro adventure that we started last session. We may or may not finish it, depending upon how quickly the subsequent encounters go. I've messaged NutriciousSnack about taking the open spot, if I don't hear from him in the next 48 hours or so I'll open it up to the general goon populace.

Is it cool if I play a Warlord, I had an idea of playing a junior officer or noble going AWOL to find riches and glory, or some type of hippie/stoner Druid off on a quest of enlightenment/actually skimping important responsibilites.

Hey, I'd like to test this character in the "Intro" adventure if you don't mind? EDIT: Actually whatever I've already decided on my Character at this point just going to write some backstory in. I'm going to be a Cunning Bard, with a later multiclass into Warlord. Heres the character file. I'll drop a wishlist in the thread at some point.
